Party Perfect

   Take a look at the pictures and you will know what I mean.

Charming invites by none other than my favorite graphic designer:
The incomparable Emily O. Holmes!

Vintage touches layered in varying heights provided interest and charm.
Can you spy the homemade salted caramel chocolate cake and
 the bacon, tomato and basil tarts? Yum!

Another view of the tablescape

Antique Limoge looks especially lovely alongside vintage crystal,
British Castles and charming bird plates from Anthropologie!

   It was a picture perfect evening for friends to gather. The air was crisp, the night was clear, the wine was flowing and the table was loaded to perfection. In addition to the brie en croute, there were bacon, tomato and basil tarts, artisanal cheeses, and three of the most decadent home-made desserts known to man: salted caramel chocolate cake, strawberry parfait trifle and Mexican chocolate tortillas with whipped creme. It's a wonder anyone left the table at all.
   And the decor...well let's just say that the hostess in charge of the tablescape and the lovely touches that were placed throughout The Daughter's house could easily find full-time employment working her incredible magic on a much larger scale!

In case you are wondering, this is the soon-to-be Mr. and Mrs!
You've met them before here.
